There you are.

Tommy, what's up, man?

Hey, how are you, bro?

How's it going?

Hey,

I meant to thank you for talking to David.

I don't know what you said to that kid, man, but you set the best goalie I've

ever seen.

That's awesome. Yeah, he's great to have been up, and we're going to keep him on

the team.

That's it.

Bro, you worked your magic.

Thank you.

I meant to talk about you.

Oh, maybe you spoke to me.

Okay. Yeah.

Sorry, Grace, I feel dropping.

Oh, okay.

Yeah. Is there anything else?

Actually, a couple of days ago.

Thank you, brother. Thank you, brother.

Just a minute.

Come in.

Hi, Jamie.

How are you?

Good. Take a seat.

How's your day going, Jamie?

Well, first, I want to say thank you for finally taking some time to talk with

me.

A little bit about myself.

I have a master's degree in social and child psychology.

I've been at the school for over five years now.

I've also...

accumulated over time.

My teacher said that you wanted to talk about college.

Yeah, I did want to talk to you about college.

How old are you now, Jean?

Um,

I just turned 18.

18? That's a fun time.

So, what do you got in mind?

You're going to be out of here soon.

Is there a particular college you're interested in or been researching?

I wanted to go to Northwestern, but I just, I know that's not realistic

considering my grades.

I'm going to be honest with you, Jamie. Your grades, they're not as off

as you think.

Fine, you have fell behind a little bit, but it's really

nothing that just a few more hours of studying won't fix.

I know you could do it, and I speak to a lot of your other teachers, and they

know you have what it takes to get what you want.

Jamie, you are a good student.

You can get into... almost any college you want. I'll help you fill out the

application.

Dude, I can totally do that.

Like all students that come in here, sometimes you just might need a little

more, um, confidence, a

little boot.

Every student that walks through these doors.

should have the education and life they want.

Nobody should be denied it ever.

You have exactly what it

takes to get into that college.

Don't let anyone ever tell you different.

I also

Want you to know...

I'd

invite you in here also about an application.

This office, like, for all students, this is a safe

place.

Whether, whatever's happening in the school, outside, or at...

You can talk to me about it.

And it'll be strictly between us. I promise.

My dad just got out of prison.

Now my mom's never around.

That just leaves me and him in the house.

This has gotten really bad.

How long was he in prison for?

Not long enough.

This is why I'm not going to college.

Because in the last six months he's gambled and drank all of my- I need to

wait.

Pass me up.

Nobody else will know.

My word is my bond. I promise you that.

Are you married?

I am married.

I have seven kids, but yes, I am.

I'm so sorry.

No, no, no.

I'm just kidding.

There's so much in this process.

Okay.

Won't you tell anyone? No, no.

I swear I wouldn't tell anybody what happens in this office space between

me...

What I need is to feel someone inside me besides my father.

Can you help me?

through what you're going through and not have somebody they can lean on or

come to you for help

You won't tell anyone else either.

It's done.

Oh.

Jesus! Oh!

Fish out what you want. Oh, fuck.

Yes.

Say that to you.

in a fucking hump.

go home. Look, I'm going to write you a letter. You can go home for the rest of

the day. Don't worry.

I can't go home.

What do you mean, Jamie?

I can't go anywhere.

Jamie.

Jamie, like I said, what happened here stays between us. It stays between us,

Jamie, but you gotta go home.

Hey,

Jamie.

Okay, we can't make noise because somebody's gonna...

Come in here and think something's happening.

There's not a friend, someone to call, an aunt, anyone.

If you stay here and someone finds out and sees this, we're going to get in a

lot of trouble.

Look, I have numbers to a women's shelter.

I could bring you there. You would be safe there. Can you find me there?

you want to come from.

okay with maybe a few days but then she's going to ask questions do you

understand that yeah

Hi, honey.

I have something to ask you.

My student needs help.

And she doesn't know where to turn.

She's going to be staying with us for a few days.
